I have a new Dell Latitude 5550, FHD. Causes headache and nausea within 20 minutes of use. Trying to problem-solve. Has anyone heard of these issues?
 
This is more of a 'you' issue; most likely, your eyes are not used to viewing things in that resolution. It can kind of be compared to putting on glasses for the first time, or getting used to a new pair of glasses. Give it time, take it in small intervals and let your eyes adjust to it. If you get [strike]nauseous[/strike] nauseated, take a break and rest.
 


Me too! But now that I've finally got it mastered, I can't resist showing off, LOL...
